Identity is local, insecure, and labor-intensive. A good public blockchain is global, secure, and automated.

Pretty convincing illusion.

Be that as it may, you'll be upset if you can't tweet this stuff because https://twitter.com doesn't resolve properly.

Twitter is a major corporate brand, not a typical (non-celebrity) individual.

And I'm neither a celebrity nor a corporate brand, but I prefer my blog resolving just fine thank you.

@NickSzabo4 Also, online identity can be made as secure as bitcoin, so if global identity is insecure, so is bitcoin. -
No, it can't. Not even close.

We must be talking about two very different "identities" if you think that.

I'm talking about how people normally use the term: human-readable ways to uniquely identity people.

Isn't security also an illusion, since we can never exclude all the risks? How would you define a "global identity"?
@taoeffect -
Is identity itself an illusion? What is true to one about one's identity, may be false to another; subjective logic.
@taoeffect -
Whereas, what makes a "good public blockchain (...) global, secure, and automated", is objective logic.
